9th Sector Report Energy (2023): “Energy 2023: Using competition to overcome the crisis“

Sector Report on German energy markets pursuant to Sec. 62 of the Energy Regulation Act, October 9, 2023

Competition-based security of energy supply is required.
The import structure for gas should be more diversified and flexible.
In the electricity sector, the Monopolies Commission recommends a competition-oriented capacity market.
The Energy price caps should be phased out; direct transfer payments are preferable to price interventions at the household level.
In the case of electric mobility, tenders must be supported at the municipal level and several competitors must be allowed to compete at service stations.

9th Sector Report Railways (2023): “Time to GO: Finally quality effective in competition!“

Sector Report on German railway markets pursuant to Sec. 78 of the Railway Regulation Act, July 4, 2023

The planned restructuring of the Deutsche Bahn (DB) Group offers opportunities for competition in the railway sector. To this end, the new infrastructure unit InfraGo should be economically and organizationally independent.
A prerequisite for stimulating competition and increasing the attractiveness of rail is higher infrastructure quality. The Monopolies Commission, therefore, recommends a new qualityoriented regulatory framework for charges.
Innovative sales service providers of digital tickets can also contribute to quality, provided they are given access to all real-time and forecast infrastructure data relevant to competition. InfraGo would have to make this data equally available to all competitors.
